Jonathan Rogers (comedian)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Contested PROD of BLP article. Although the article offers one source, this source, an IMDb listing, doesn't actually mention the subject of the article. No other Reliable sources offered or found, so subject would seem non-notable at present. FlowerpotmaN &middot;( t ) 20:14, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

To combat the proposed deletion, references have been added that list comedy organizations in which the subject "Jonathan Rogers" is a regular performer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Supes28 (talk • contribs) 20:52, 16 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Ah, there's the problem. None of the sources or notes actually mention the subject of the article. The IMdb link for the movie "Medallion" due out next year does not mention Jonathan Rogers. (Here's the link). The first Facebook link would hardly be a reliable source anyway, but as it is returning a message saying "This content is currently unavailable", we can't say what was on the page. The third reference is actually a Wikipedia page, which  might indeed include Hamilton County as one of the more affluent places in the US, but doesn't actually contain the quote it is used to verify; however this isn't really a problem because it has  absolutely no bearing on the notability of the subject anyway. The fourth link, to Morty's Comedy Club, doesn't mention the subject, and I can't find him on the site, although you might be able to provide a link. The same applies to the link to the Howlin' Wolf in New Orleans. The Facebook link in the external links section does work, but doesn't really reveal much and isn't a reliable source anyway. The "Comedy Channel" link offered in the External Links section does link to a video on Youtube but it's "Jonathan Rogers Comedy Channel" rather than the Comedy Channel. Youtube videos aren't a reliable source; he may well have appeared on stage at the Howlin' Wolf venue, but what we really need, at the very least, are reviews and/or substantial coverage in newspapers or other media, which hasn't been provided.

 * Delete - Absolutely no coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. -- Whpq (talk) 16:15, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:AUTHOR and WP:BK and WP:ENTERTAINER and WP:CREATIVE and WP:GNG and WP:RS and WP:BIO and lots and lots and lots of other excellent reasons. Qworty (talk) 00:12, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
